Wow. What happened? The place was empty and now looks sold out. That's awesome. Great way to start the tour.

I'm still waiting to see them add a little to the setlist before I buy my tickets, but I'll probably buy them anyway just to hear Estranged.

Concert review: Guns N’ Roses at Amway Center

Concerts — posted by jimabbott on October, 29 2011 2:24 AM

Well, I never had a chance to see the old, fat Elvis Presley in Las Vegas, but I saw Axl Rose on Friday at Amway Center.

That’s has to be close, right?

Rose and the current no-name lineup of Guns N’ Roses – sort of the strike-season-replacement-team of rock bands – unleashed a bloated, but surprisingly strong 3 hours on the opening night of its first U.S. tour in more than five years. Yeah, there was a lot of it – just like the lead singer’s expanded mid-section.

Just kidding, sort of.

Actually, it was hard to make a judgment about Axl’s physique, since he was dressed in a frumpy black jacket, untucked shirt and baggy pants that concealed his waistline. His face also was hard to see beneath pulled-down brim of a flashy fedora and the big video screens never offered a close-up.

Maybe his eyes were shielded to keep him from seeing that there weren’t enough fans to fill the lower bowl or require opening the arena’s upper level. Perhaps the faithful were turned off by horrendous reviews out of the band’s recent Rock in Rio performance – or maybe chubby Axl consumed some of them at the meet-and-greet.

It was hard to hear his voice above the onslaught of guitars and drums in an opening foray that included “Chinese Democracy,” “Welcome to the Jungle” and “It’s So Easy.”

When the mix stabilized, though, his strident tenor was strong (by Axl standards) in “Estranged,” “Live and Let Die,” “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and others. The gut-busting histrionics in “This I Love,” another Chinese Democracy song, were harder to love, however.

Maybe the band was turned up loud because it rocked instrumentally: Guitarists DJ Ashba, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal and Richard Fortus channeled riffs of signature hits above the foundation of bassist Tommy Stinson, keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman and drummer Frank Ferrer. Fewer time-chewing solos between the Guns N’ Roses songs would’ve been nice, though.

Although less intricate, opening act Buckcherry delivered its enthusiastic aggregation of Aerosmith and AC/DC riffs with conviction, ripping through “All Night Long,” “Dead” and “It’s a Party” with style.

It would’ve been nice if Buckcherry had played longer than its allotted 60 minutes, considering GNR made the fans wait an additional 90 minutes for its arrival just after 11:30 p.m.

But, as tempting as it is to write off the lead singer as a caricature of himself, the wait was pretty much worth it in the end.

No joke.

Whoever wrote this shit can stick his blog up his arse. So many times over the last couple of years i've read similar reviews from people that are so upset to admit that they have witnessed one of the great rock acts in modern times. They are so reluctant to give Axl and the boys credit for a brilliant show that the content of their pissy little review is mostly negative, and then they usually end it with something like - 'Oh yeah, by the way it was really quite awesome' - as a little throwaway sentence at the end of bashing the band.

By all real accounts it went off well and Axl and the boys were terrific. Enjoy it USA :)

Lovely set list - as an AC/DC fan, I couldn't ask for more than to hear Axl Rose himself channel the hard rock soul of Guns N' Roses by covering not one, but two Bon Scott era gems. But, as a GNR fan, there is only one thing that I can ask for...
